Cavity Busters News

Ok this DOES fix the slow down issue. Pretty sure. :)

• made combo meter stop when in shmup mode
  
• really fixed slow down (i'm good at this) ːsteammockingː
  
• fixed bug with tooth gummy and glass tooth shot
  
• nerfed room where two shiv mini bosses would spawn, down to two
  

Just a small patch to address a nasty bug slowing down the game.

• fixed a bug that caused severe FPS drop when transitioning to shmup mode (not fixed)
  
• fixed a bug where music from shmup would keep playing if the game was restarted during shmup mode
  
• wild wild tooth now synergizes with loose tooth upgrade
  

Hello! How's everyone? Here's a regular sized update this week. I'm gonna hopefully stick with a bi-weekly or weekly update schedule as I'm hoping to push a lot of polish updates. So here's the first round of polish!

Shmup Mode Changes
I also separated shorter rounds from the shmup mode. Shorter rounds will now be an unlockable game mode. As always though, you can access it right away by going into the accessibility options. And now, if shorter rounds is turned off there will be a small shmup wave of enemies between levels where you can gain some goodies by playing it well! Some of you might recognize the enemies from another game of mine. :)

A note about performance:
I made some changes that should help performance. Specifically for people who use monitors with refresh rates higher then 60hz. But you'll have to let me know. Did performance get better? And more importantly, did it get worse? ːtrazzː

That's all for this update! Full change list below. Thanks for playing and for the super nice reviews you all left the last few weeks. They were sooo nice. Gave me a nice boost to keep working on this monster :D Anyways, thank you. Until next time!

Peace!

Fixes

• fixed certain enemies starting out invisible
  
• fixed a handful of bugs connected with transitioning to shmup mode

Here's another little batch of fixes

• made loading and save files a bit more reliable.
  
• put safeties in place to make sure doors wont auto lock you in a room
